Golf irons require a different swing than your golf woods. Depending on what you want to do with the golf ball, golf irons can be very versatile.

Steps

1

Place the golf ball further back in your stance for your pw, 9, and 8 golf irons.

2

Place the golf ball in the middle of your stance for the 7, 6, and 5 golf irons.

3

Move the golf ball forward slightly when using the 4 and 3 golf irons.

The idea of hitting the ball with golf irons is to make contact with the ball then the ground.

4

Keep your head level as you swing through the ball.

5

Check your divot to make sure you are contacting the ball before the ground.

6

Check the shape of your divot. It should aim at your target.

7

Keep practicing with your golf irons until you make consistent contact and understand how to shape your shots.
